Fusion power seat motor hums but won't move seat

Hi i have a 2011 fusion hybrid and the front portion of the seat won't go down or up.  (It's all the way up right now, 6 of the 8 way power seat functions are working correctly)

 

You can feel it vibrating when you signal it to move up or down but it doesn't move.  The motor hums and vibrates like it's bound up.

 

I unbolted the seat and nothing is binding it up.  I tapped the middle motor with a hammer but still no luck.

 

The forward/ reverse and rear up/down works fine  

 

How do trouble shoot this farther or is it just designed that you need to replace the entire seat track motor assembly?

 

This is the middle motor and i can't see any way to take it apart to look for broken gears or jambed motor internals.

suppose if it was me, id check the power supply to the motor via the plug and check the motor resistance vs the others motors with a DMM.

Other than that its most probably more effective to go to some local wreckers and try and find a seat with the same trim and switch it out completely.
